Character Archetypes: A cold, stoic, enduring, and tragically beautiful Shou VS A socially adept, straightforward, and genuine Gong (Younger)
The Wen household was a living hell. Wen Xubai knew this from the moment he stepped inside.
Eighteen years ago, the matriarch of the Wen family and the six-year-old Third Young Master were involved in a car accident. One died; the other went missing. Under the guise of accumulating good karma, Grandfather Wen adopted the sole survivor of the crash—an orphan—and named him Wen Xubai. He established a charity fund in the boy’s name, ostensibly to appeal for public help in finding the missing Third Young Master.
And now, he had found him.
Wen Xubai gazed at his lover—Qi Zui.
Qi Zui could have escaped this sea of suffering, but Wen Xubai insisted on dragging him down into the abyss with him.
Qi Zui asked, “Wen Xubai, from the very beginning, you approached me on purpose, didn’t you?”
Wen Xubai looked at him indifferently. “Between you and me, there is only exploitation, no love.”
“Is that so?” Qi Zui sneered. “Then why did you choose to come back?”
Wen Xubai fell silent for a long time before answering, “Qi Zui, this is what I owe you.”
He knew he shouldn’t love, yet he fell anyway. He knew he had an ulterior motive, yet he acted willingly.
Wen Xubai said, “I am willing to use everything I have to atone for my sins.”
Qi Zui said, “I am willing to give my all in exchange for his freedom.”
Run. Get away from this bitter sea that threatens to drown you… Wake up. Do not cross the divide that separates you…
Qi Zui, you could have punished him, taken revenge, made his life a living hell. Why did your heart soften? Wen Xubai, you could have turned away, fled, and let him bear the pain in your place. Why were you unwilling?
Because… neither could bear to let go.
